About this book
Computer-Aided Structural Analysis offers a novel and comprehensive approach to teaching advanced structural analysis using computer programming, specifically through MATLAB®. By focusing on developing fundamental programming skills, this book encourages learners to move beyond the "black box" mentality of commercial software. The inclusion of real-world examples, clear explanations, and practical tutorials ensures students gain not only theoretical knowledge but also the confidence to design their own programs for specialized applications. Additionally, the book promotes enhanced accuracy, speed, and problem-solving ability, making it an invaluable resource for both students and practicing engineers. It equips readers with the critical skills needed to excel in the modern era of AI-driven infrastructure projects and complex engineering challenges. It serves as a textbook for courses in engineering disciplines such as Ocean Engineering, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Applied Mechanics, and Aerospace Engineering, and provides students with a deep understanding of the essential principles behind structural analysis and the application of computer-aided tools.
- Offers clear explanations, real-world examples, tutorials, and MATLAB® code in each chapter, enabling students to apply theoretical concepts to practical scenarios.
- Includes an Instructors' Guide and customized MATLAB® files for adopting professors.
- Bridges the gap between academic learning and real-world applications, helping students develop skills that are directly applicable to current industry demands and infrastructure projects.
